You should get a job at airfix the amount you bang on about models. See my previous comment. Our model hasn’t changed, we’ve always spent what we can but recently that has increased.

My point is we’ve not had a policy of keeping spending low, we’ve always spent what we can. And this summer that rapidly increased so if anything our approach has remained the same.

Revisionism about Gyokeres, general consensus was he looked bang average. Agreed on Hamer but he had issues other than talent that needed sorting.

“Low” fees is relative. £1m+ for Vik was pretty high for a player with 3 goals in 30 championship appearances. £1.5m on Hamer was a massive fee for us at the time, biggest for 10-15 years?

Exactly, and I think most would agree the amount we spent is not the issue, it’s the players we spent it on who (currently) aren’t performing.

When we received 30+? If we want to progress then we need to spend. Could be on playing staff, support staff or facilities but money in a bank account somewhere is not helping us at all.

It’s genuinely not, he thinks we shouldn’t have spent the money.

One of the best records of all time

But why not spend more? I don’t think the spending is the problem, it’s the players we’ve spent it on.

so how much do you think we should’ve spent after taking in 30-35m?

You’re the only one arguing that we shouldn’t have spent money. We should have spent. But clearly the players we spent it on aren’t performing for now at least.

Circa 3.5m I believe. I’m also pretty good at spelling, which seems to evade you. Lionel Messi joined Miami for free, does that mean we never need to spend money again?

“Some of us” being those who struggled with primary school maths classes?

I’m seriously worried about your obsession with me. Do I need to get a restraining order?

How long did it take them to develop into top players? go to bed

If they were better scouts we’d be better off spending money on their recommendations?! Is your brain intact?

So the same scouting department that has identified our current signings would somehow find better players if we spent less?

Yeah, let’s sit on our money after losing half our starting 11, fantastic idea mate.
